On this page you will get a preview of what you can find on the rest of the site. Links to the major sections are at the top of the page, but below you will find further descriptions of the items of interest to be found in "My Whirled". Since the site is very much under construction, most of the main links refer to pages yet to be completed; in which case you will find pages with no content yet. Sorry, but I at least want to have something up to give you the idea of how the site will progress. Please come back again as I will have more content up just as soon as I can.
And now, just for starters:
The first section I've finished is a three page introduction to my favorite project at the moment; building my ultimate desktop. I've spent quite a bit of time and energy to get everything just the way I like it, and on the journey to customize the various elements I've found some interesting things and worked on skills I didn't even know that I had. Links are available for you to be able to check out the stuff I found.
For the new year I've changed the look and feel of my desktop. I changed the image, the glass theme and added a new program I found that gives it a bit of an OS-X feel. I'm even more excited about this incarnation. One thing that I enjoy about working on the desktop is that I have a unique look to my computer, one that is completely in sync with my personality.

PAM-Themes are graphics I've done to customize the look of the PortableApps Menu. Portableapps.com is where you find the launcher-menu program and many portable versions of various applications like FireFox, Gimp, FileZilla, OpenOffice, and many others. When I discovered that the look of the menu was a simple image file I started playing with making various versions so that I could change the look to something more appealing than the red and white pallette of the default image. I then found in the forums at the site that there are many users who are doing the same thing and sharing their designs.
There is a modified version of the program at the PTC website, allowing you to change the theme much more easily. They also have tutorials on how to tweak it to make different sizes and layouts of the menu as well as downloadable customizations so you can have a complete library of skins for your PortableApps Menu. The ones I've done are usable on the official release version.
